INTRODUCTION
The global market for wind power has been
expanding faster than any other sources of renewable
energy. The world wind power capacity has been
duplicated around twelve times from just 4,800 MW in
1995 to reach over than 59,000 MW at the end of 2005.
Wind power is now established as an energy source in
over 50 countries around the world. Those with the
highest totals in 2005 were Germany (18,428 MW),
Spain (10,027 MW), the USA (9,149 MW), India
(4,430 MW) and Denmark (3,122 MW). A number of
other countries, including Italy, the UK, the
Netherlands, China, Japan and Portugal, have reached
the 1,000 MW of wind power capacity[1]. Denmark is
planning for wind power to cover 50% of the electricity
consumption by 2025[2].
Although the control of variable speed pitchcontrolled is an important area and obviously routines
have been developed by manufacturers, there is not
much to be found in the generally available literature.
The steady-state operating conditions are well described
by[3]. In Mika[4] suggestions for controllers for some
wind speed regions can be found, however, no solutions
of how to switch between these controllers were
presented. Moreover, in[4] the suggested pitch controller
was of a very active type, that could lead to wear of the
mechanical parts, which, of course, is a drawback.
Automatic control is essential for efficient and
reliable operation of wind power turbines and is an
interesting, challenging research topic. Nowadays,
variable speed wind turbines are becoming more
common than constant speed turbines.
This is mainly due to a better power quality impact,
reduction of stresses in the turbine and the reduction of
